I was accepted to be on Miami Ink a while back but just could not afford to make the trip. I was excited to have my story told and to hopefully have Chris Garver do my work. I would like to have each of my 2 children's names done in a style that represents their personalities. My daughter Erika's name would be in an arch with 2 roses in the middle. My son Tyler's name would be a colorful graffiti style. I have been fortunate to have been their to save both of their lives. When my son was 3 I found him face down and blue in the bottom of my pool. I was able to revive him and after a short hospital stay he was fine. He is 14 now and driving me crazy like a 14 year old boy should. When my daughter was 10 she was choking in a restaurant. He airway was totally blocked. I did the Heimlich maneuver and she began to breath again. She is 19 now and going to college. My kids mean the world to me and I am very glad to have been there for both of them and I hope to always be.
